It's easy to use and cheaper than TurboTax. I switched from TT years ago and never looked back. My return is relatively simple since I am retired and don't own a business.
I have been using this program for 24 years. Yes I know that I can do it for free on line but I have trusted and had great luck using this program. I recommend it highly and anyone can follow the steps and have good results.
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Easy to import documents, Fast
I have prepared our federal taxes with H&R Block Basic for many years and find it easy to use and intuitive. The import from prior year is very helpful as well as being able to connect to payroll services and financial institutions.

I've been using this software since it was Andrew Tobias Tax Cut, delivered on 5 1/4" floppy discs. It has been continuously improved over the years, and I haven't run into a situation yet that it couldn't handle.
Simple to use and complete if you don't have a side business or state tax. And the cheapest package available for this case. The basic package is enough to cover normal salaried people, retired people while including stock exchange transactions. I've used it for over a decade. And enjoy the ease and speed of included e-filing. My only ongoing complaint is that you cannot change the default font size.
